DVD-R format is:
A
Write once, read many times and non-volatile
B
Write many times, read many times and volatile
C
Write once, read many times and volatile
D
Write many times, read many times and non-volatile
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -"R” format DVDs can be written once and read arbitrarily many times, whereas “RW” formats can be written to repeatedly. Thus, “R” format discs are only suited to non-volatile data storage, such as audio or video. This can cause confusion because the ‘DVD+RW Alliance’ logo is a stylized ‘RW’.

Detailed explanation-2: -Thus, a DVD-ROM is an optical storage media and it can be written only once.

Detailed explanation-3: -DVD-R stands for Digital Versatile Disk Recordable. DVD-RW stands for Digital Versatile Disk Re-Writable. DVD-R is a write once read many type of disk. This means, it can be written only once, but can be read many times.

Detailed explanation-4: -DVD-R and DVD+R record data one time only, then the disc is only readable. DVD-RW, DVD+RW and DVD-RAM allow you to record and erase data multiple times. DVD-ROM only reads data; you cannot save to this disc.
